Gregory Maxwell, 32, of Masefield Crescent, Romford, and Brian Atkins, 49, of Gordon Road, Ilford, appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates Court, for the false imprisonment and kidnapping of Australian Paul Wickerson, last year on August 31.

Paul was hit by a car and died in Lower Burnham Road, Cold Norton, after he was ejected from the Brownstock festival and escorted off the site.

The case has now been sent for trial at Chelmsford Crown Court.

They will appear on November 3 for a plea and case management hearing.

“Where to go for a drink near Great Portland Street?” was previously met with blank expressions and shrugs for those local to the area, not anymore, thanks to the opening of The Refinery at Regent’s Place, the eighth bar and restaurant from hugely-successful group Drake & Morgan.
